Well, it’s Deckcon time again, which means
that we get a lot of work trashing one of the world’s largest consumer
electronics shows. I mean, it’s the only reason I’d be there otherwise, as the
thing’s a total nerd-fest. Just look at how excited Neon gets for it as proof.
And just like last year, we were busy throughout the show doing various jobs
for various people. The offers came in thick and fast, and yet we managed to be
at cross-purposes throughout.
The first job we got wasn’t actually a job,
however, but also was rather personal. Ishtar, our least favourite Babylonian
Goddess-themed pop star, had thrown down an open challenge as a publicity
stunt. She was goign to be putting on a livecast show on the first day of
Deckcon, and she was openly daring people to hack the feed. Naturally, Neon
immediately wanted to hack the feed, but was trying to think of a way to do
such that wouldn’t immediately be giving her what she wanted.
